    I bought it for the price and always wanted one. I wanted the bose sound system so bad, but one day i ran into this one in a store. It caught my attention and sounded really good. One day saw it for a really great price and man in my living room i cant get it past 20 volume cause its so loud. I could only imagine how high and better this thing can go. Built well and sound with that bass woofer is out of this world. Plus bluetooth is an amazing thing and don't have to fight with wires to install.

    Una bocina muy muy buena para un precio tan bajo, los materiales son de excelente calidad y el sonido aún mejor, funciona muy bien con mi TV a través de earc, es compacta pero suena genial la recomiendo mucho, NO ES BOCINA INTELIGENTE solo funciona como dispositivo de salida por chrome cast o Alexa, la conectas a wifi o por ethernet y se configura con el control remoto, no tiene una app es lo malo.
